Jim and Rich discuss an entertaining MotoGP Round 15 from the Red Bull Ring in Austria. At long last, this was the breakthrough weekend we have all been waiting for with Pedro Acosta scoring his first MotoGP win. It was a tense affair, with Acosta throwing away a certain win in the Saturday Sprint, only to bounce back and find redemption with the Sunday victory; the first of many no doubt! In Moto3, a similar story saw David Almansa crash out of an early lead, handing an unchallenged victory to Max Quilles. Further back, we all got to enjoy a titanic battle, which saw Britain’s Eddie O’Shea score a memorable 4th place. Moto2 was the weekends forgettable race, albeit Izan Guevara took a win to move within 36 points of series leader Manuel Gonzales.

Karl and Danny take you to Round 9 of both WorldSBK at Magny-Cours and the British Superbikes at Assen.

In WorldSBK, Nicolo Bulega dominated the French weekend, taking pole before completing a clean sweep of all three races. Iker Lecuona was his closest challenger, finishing second in each race, while Yari Montella secured two podiums. We cover the intense battles between Bulega and Lecuona, several crashes, the red flags, and Bulega’s growing championship advantage, which now stands at 146 points.

At Assen, the BSB weekend produced three very different races. Scott Redding won the opening two races, with Kyle Ryde taking victory in Race 3 after a dramatic final-lap battle involving Bradley Ray and Redding. Ryde leaves Assen leading the championship on 459 points, with Redding on 391 and Ray on 349.

We also cover the latest BSB news, including Charlie Nesbitt’s departure from TAG Racing, Bradley Ray’s 2027 deal with McAMS Yamaha and the developing technical regulations for next season.

 

Also, Danny puts his cap on the floor and begs for some charitable folks to dip into their pockets for a great cause. Penny, who is just 7 years old, suffers with a serious condition called Cystic Fibrosis. This has many detrimental effects on Penny's health but with the love and support from her mum and dad Stef and James, Penny is a bright, bubbly young girl, given the best chance in life. The family have done fundraisers before, but nothing like this one! Stef is getting her racing licence and jumping on the back of Michael (Jack) Russell's sidecar for a race. It is safe to say, Stef is terrified of this but will do anything to help out a charity that is so close to her heart. So, with that said, lets get the coffers out and pledge some funds to a great cause! Penny, this one is for you.

Jim and Rich are back to discuss MotoGP Round 14 from the Misano World Circuit Marco Simoncelli in San Marino. After a round of the week’s news its straight into Moto3 and yet another masterclass from Max Quilles. The Moto2 race was one that got away, with the front row going down at turn 1, allowing Manuel Gonzalez an easier than expected and much needed win to steady his nerves after a shaky few rounds. In MotoGP Marc Marquez took a maximum 37 points for the second round running to level up the top of the points table. This was the race where the Aprilia’s were expected to shine and present a challenge to Ducati. As it was, Ogura was absent through injury, Fernandez was slightly off colour, Martin had arm pump and Bezzecchi crashed out on lap 1 of the Sunday race. Next up it’s the Qatar Airways Grand Prix ff Austria at the Red Bull Ring.
